/var probably won't be remotely mounted, but the standard advice (at least, the standard advice that I've heard for quite a while) has been "make /var a separate partition, that way syslog can't fill up your root partition". So it could easily require mountfs. I'd say put it between mountfs and cleanfs, either before or after udev_retry (probably after). > For most LFS systems /dev/rtc is what is needed. And for the ones that don't need /dev/rtc, udev will (...well, should) still create the right files. The exception would be direct port I/O using the inp/outp functions (and iopl() to get permission), which doesn't require any device. :-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIPKwyS5vET1Wea5wRAwuCAJ0Ui+xLAZx8gArAvY/j+Cee03iXHACfZzbr 0hD4k9xswkRKh5T8ZLyHhC4= =pU88 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
